The LibraryThe College Library

Open 8.00am to 4.30pm Monday to Fridays during term time.

Our newly extended library offers a great place to study.

It has a large collection of resources to help students successfully complete their college course. Books, journals, reference materials, CD-ROMs, videos, and DVDs are all available to borrow or consult.  All current students are automatically members of the library.


The book collection of nearly 13 000 titles covers all curriculum areas. Most items are available to borrow. We also have good fiction section, containing both classic and up-to-date titles.  We have journals relating to all subject areas, and currently take in excess of 30 titles.  We take a selection of daily and weekly newspapers, which are available to read in the library.  The library staff are always available to assist in finding the materials needed for assignments

The library is divided into four different study zones, as follows:-

Library Lobby 
Pairs, workspace and Individual Computer Study Spaces  (Quiet Working)

Silent Room
Individual Study Space   (Silent)

Main Library
Individual workspaces and Individual Computer Study Spaces (Quiet working)

Mobile   (The Student Workroom)
Group Study spaces including Computer Study spaces

There are networked computers in the library and in the Student Workroom. The Library is a Wi-Fi hotspot, so laptops if wireless enabled, will be able to access the college network. All computers give access to the college network, moodle (our virtual learning environment), and the internet. They all have the necessary software to enable the successful completion of coursework e.g. Microsoft Office, which includes; word-processing, spreadsheets, databases, and publishing software, as well as some subject specific software such as Adobe Photoshop Elements for Photography, and Omni-graph for Maths. 
 

Please remember:

·          the Library is a quiet area – if you are not, you will be asked to leave

·          there are IT User Rules that you must follow – these appear when you log in

·          you need to have ‘print credit’ before you can print

·          there are also specialist IT facilities and applications in specific teaching rooms – please ask if you want to use these
